Ltd. said “Many of today’s enterprises increasingly demand the most cost -effective and flexible platforms to enable them to effectively execute their mission -critical business processes. HCL Infosystems is one of the first suppliers to offer Indian businesses freedom of choice by using the new Dual -Core Intel Itanium 2 processors which supports a broad choice of OSes and software with more than 8,000 applications in production. None of the RISC vendors can match this unbeatable flexibility and standards -based approach.”
